Although Islam is one of the world's major cultures, and the family is a major element of that culture, surprisingly little information is available on the contemporary Muslim family.In this study of Sunni Muslim families in cities and villages of Lebanon, Syria and Jordan, two social psychologists present evidence that significant changes have occurred during this century in many aspects of Arab family life. Some two thousand Muslim women of all ages and walks of life were interviewed.
